It is thought cats can see some colors though not the spectrum that humans can see. It is easier for a cat to differentiate blues, violets and yellow over reds and greens. If a cat shows a preference to a certain toy, it is likely the shape or odor that is attractive instead of color.

I would keep him inside so he isn't accidentally harmed or injured. You can add in some toys that are interactive (such as a laser pointer) or even add in some furniture such as shelves or a cat tree that will allow him to climb and get more exercise. If he does like to go outside, buying a cat-harness and leash and taking him on supervised outings outside can help him to explore without getting away and potentially being injured.

Hi, in terms of cat furniture don’t worry cats don’t need anything particularly fancy. They enjoy sitting on a shelf as in the picture and look outside the window. You would add some cardboard boxes that can also work as cratching posts and a couple of pillow on the bookshelf. I think the feeding area would better be moved, because being right in front of the windows is exposed, they can see/be seen and could spot something that might upset them. It is also advisable to keep feeding areas away from their litter tray and perhaps moving it would help increasing this distance. Are there only two cats in the room ? If so also consider the number of litter trays. I mo not sure how many you have at present, and if things work out well I probably would suggest not to change them. You can find lots of ideas in building/creating cat furniture from ikea furniture if you fancy a change in the future. Also cats will need to be active and interact with you so make sure you consider this in your rou
